Electrolux Design Lab 2007: And The Finalists Are...

As we noted a few months back, this year's Electrolux Design Lab competition is all about sustainable design. The competition, featured in 2006 and 2005 on TreeHugger, was searching for household products that go beyond efficient use of materials and resources; the objects should be designed to encourage the users themselves to adopt more sustainable behaviors. Now that's what sustainable design is all about!

The top 8 finalists have been announced for the 2007 competition; among them, a solar cooker, water-saving shower, automatic food composter and solar-powered air filter. Hit the jump for more details on all eight, and stay tuned for the winner, announced after the final judging in Paris on November 28. ::Electrolux Design Lab via ::MoCo LocoThe eight finalists:
